Alexandria, a city in Egypt became the center for culture renewal where philosophers and scientists  gathered and worked in the field of many subjects.

Alexandra the great founded this city in 332 BC and thus the name of this city is a gift of him. This city had its own importance until the rise of the Roman Empire due the cultural and commercial node of the Mediterranean coast.

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
